The original woodgrain bezel had the rings around the gauges painted brown. Did you sand off the brown paint and polish the aluminum? That really looks good.

Thanks,
Yep, I stripped the brown paint with a red scuff pad (scotch bright pad)..it takes a while, that old paint is really on there.
I was going to polish them, but the scuff pad left a great spun aluminim finish to the surround, so I left it like that (it takes a bit of a carefull touch to make sure all the scuff marks are going in the same direction, but it looks cool, and matches the finish on my TT wheels!) It reraly does not shoe that well in the pics thou.
I just wanted something different from the wood grain. I hope it looks good all together.
I also removed the woodgrain from the center console.
